That's what I was going to say! I can't tell you how hard it is, not having photoshop at my disposal. I had to find just the right shirt--too snug and the outline of my belly would be apparent, too loose and it'd hang down in a straight line from the peak of the belly, wrong color (too light) and the problem wouldn't be masked as well as it was, but if the color was too dark any hope of giving the illusion of no belly might be lost. Also, having the word "athletic" on the shirt was in the hope that the power of suggestion might be at work (even though I bought that shirt at Dollar General)

Even if we have thousands of acts of great virtue to our credit, our confidence in being heard must be based on God's mercy and His love for men. Even if we stand at the very summit of virtue, it is by mercy that we shall be saved.
